… is this really needed? 
It is cool. Looks nice. But, it produces some difficulties in some use cases. Which admittedly might be edge-edge-edge-case.
Im my case, I encapsulated it in an app (see MacOS App... really!?)
I now enhanced that app so show a sidebar navigator of all files inside the chosen folder for SB.
And that works great. Clicking folders unfolds them, clicking files opens them, even if they have empty spaces in the name.
Unless when there is an icon, emoji inside the filename.
Then, it won’t open it and I get some errors in the Swift debug console + Internal Server Error from Deno.
Of course, this is not an issue with SB itself or actually anywhere else I have run SB (the files open just fine anywhere else and it is not technically forbidden, nor unsupported, at least not on a Mac).
But clearly it presents an issue in some cases, and researching it a bit, I read that it is generally something not “really suggested” 
due to potential issues.
So my question(s)…
- could it be avoided?
(yes I can just edit the files myself. I am referring to, is it “best practice” and should it be “released” with icons?) - can anyone hint how to deal with it in a Swift application that calls the file via URL?
The error I get is not actually even related to the Swift app itself, it is from deno:
Requested file 📌 EXAMPLE.md

And this is how I build the URL in my sidebar view:
func getEncodedURL(for fileURL: URL) -> URL {
let relativePath = fileURL.path.replacingOccurrences(of: selectedFolderURL.path, with: "")
guard let encodedPath = relativePath.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed) else { fatalError("Failed to encode path") }
let urlString = "http://localhost:3000\(encodedPath)"
guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else { fatalError("Invalid URL string") }
return url
}
I am totally aware this is not “really” an SB issue. Only somewhat. Thus feel free to remove this post if deemed inadequate for this forum.
